✨ This year’s Monday Bridge Club Christmas Party was a truly festive and lively occasion, with well over 30 members coming together for an evening full of laughter, good company, and excellent bridge. From the moment people arrived, the room was buzzing with conversation and Christmas cheer. 🎉

🥂 Starting an hour earlier than usual proved to be the perfect decision, giving everyone plenty of time to relax, mingle, and enjoy the evening. A wonderfully generous festive spread awaited us — a delicious mix of sweet and savoury treats, all kindly organised and contributed by our own members. There was no shortage of food, and it was very much enjoyed by all. 🍽️

♣️ After the socialising and feasting, it was time for bridge, with our popular Singles competition providing just the right balance of friendly rivalry and fun. Organised and directed by Sati, the format kept things lively and engaging, allowing players to mix, compete, and enjoy the game in a relaxed Christmas atmosphere. Congratulations to Samet, who emerged as the overall winner on the night — very well played. 🏆

🎖️ The evening concluded with prize presentations for the various competitions held throughout the year, presented by our Chairman, James Smith. It was a lovely way to recognise success while celebrating the sense of community that makes the club so special. 💷👏

🎅🎄 All in all, it was a fantastic evening — the perfect blend of socialising, competitive bridge, and simple enjoyment. If you’re looking for a bridge club that combines good bridge with a genuinely friendly and welcoming atmosphere, this night was proof that The Monday Bridge Club does exactly that. ✨
